Known for her fascination with Audrey Hepburn, Filipino-Australian actress Anne Curtis became emotional after visiting Hepburn’s exhibit in Manila.
On one of her Instagram posts, Anne shared a glimpse of her tour around the recently opened Audrey Hepburn exhibit in the country, which was opened by Hepburn’s son.
In her post, she shared how she became a fan of Hepburn when her father introduced her to films starting with “My Fair Lady.”
“It was an instant admiration that has lasted till this day, from watching all her films, collecting what memorabilia I could, and of course, respecting and being inspired by her humanitarian work,” she said.
During her visit to the exhibit, she was accompanied by Sean Hepburn, the son of Audrey Hepburn, to exclusively tell the stories behind each of his mother’s memorabilia.
The actress also shared how she became emotional upon entering the exhibit as she heard Audrey Hepburn’s voice as she explored some of her works.
“A really special moment too is when you walk in and hear her voice and see her silhouette. I tried so hard not to cry (kasi nakakahiya) but failed,” she said.
In the said post, she also encouraged individuals to make time and visit the said exhibit, noting that Hepburn not only paved her way in the fashion industry but also in other aspects of society.
“We have all loved her for her fashion style and acting, but this exhibit is so special because it lives up to its name by getting to know more about Audrey, intimately. Sharing bits and pieces I would never imagine getting to see in real life,” she said.
She added that on her next visit, she would like to tag along with her father, noting that he was the first person who introduced her to Hepburn.
The Audrey Hepburn exhibit in Manila opened on August 1 and will be open to the public until October 29. Its opening hours during the weekdays are from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
